I made this cake for a photography workshop where my cake making was the subject matter. The vase didn't turn out AT ALL what I had planned, but the beauty of art is that it can still be beautiful outside your well laid plans. Everything is hand made and edible...other than wires for hummingbird and flowers of course :)
Made for a soon to be first time Mom on Valentines Day as a surprise...inside is Vanilla cake, filled with lemon curd and vanilla bean buttercream. didn't have heart pans so the cake is carved.
Made for a sweet 16 birthday, cakes were chocolate chip cookie cake, red velvet, marble cake, strawberry. She absolutely LOVED it! Yay!
Front half is Triple Vanilla Brown Butter cake, back half is red velvet, all fondant deco.
Made this for my step-dad, each set of marbles represents an important part of his life..God, family, music etc...he was turning 60 and there are 60 marbles in a chinese checkers set..all fondant. Inside was a rainbow lemon cake with lemon buttercream, I shipped this all the way from Maine to Montana...heart stopping and nerve wracking...but it made it beautifully.
Cake done for a friend whose son loves penguins, hockey and fish. Note the fish coming out of the water to watch the penguin play hockey. All decorations are fondant and gum paste with some sanding sugar, luster dust, and rock candy thrown in there for good measure. Bottom cake is Chocolate with truffle filling and whipped ganache frosting, middle cake is strawberry cake with cheesecake filling and vanilla bean buttercream top cake is triple vanilla brown butter cake with caramel brown sugar buttercream.
I had these grand plans of buildings that extended higher than the cake and RI webs that went from the buildings to the cupcakes. Nothing dried after a 5 day wait so this was the compromise. I wish you could see the cupcake wrapper better. I used dark chocolate and then dusted with midnight blue lusterdust. It looked great. I had to tell 3 or 4 guests that they didn't have to unwrap them that it was edible. All in all the customer and the 3 year old were VERY happy...and that is really all that matters .
These were made for a change of command ceremony for the Commanding officer's wife (the C.O.W) The squadrons colors are blue and gold so I incorporated that in with the flowers. I made 62 of these...I have so much respect for cookie decorators...I find it sooo much harder to do than cake decorating! I guess it is not as easy to do either when you have your 2 y.ol. begging for cows and icing.
Made for customer who was retiring from the Navy. Wife told me he wears tie dye alllllll the time, thus the bottom tier. Some of his special moments include his Dad pinning his anchors on him so that is what you see on the front of the cake. He also had beer steins, an airplane (he worked on em) and a globe with the phrase "so there I was all boozed up in....." The top has 3 replicas oh his chiefs coin made with white chocolate and a combination of luster and highlighter dusts.
This is my first display cake. I am using it for my first public display for a raffle.. I was inspired by some really cute fabric I found online and a cake by Kate Sullivan of Lovin Sullivan Cakes. Groovy Baby!
This is for the same customer that had the pink tiara quilted wedge cake, second of their daughters 1st Birthday parties (Dad is in Iraq now) The mom LOVES yellow and she asked if I could incorporate daisies as that is the daughters room theme. That is what I did. Not exactly my favorite cake, I need practice with Daisies but it is still cute.
Goes with girly first birthday cake, this is their smash cake for her. My gift to them.
made for a family whose Dad is leaving for Iraq in the morning. So they are having her birthday a couple of days early. I added a wedge pillow tiara cake as a good luck gift. He is all about pink for his girl so I really went all out.
I had a left over layer of cake so I decided to play. I decorated this in the Mary Englebreit style in honor of my Moms birthday coming up..(its too expensive to ship one to her). I like it. Never done a wedge cake before. It was fun
Customer wanted chocolate brown and baby blue but didn't want chocolate! Yikes! Colored fondant and then airbrished. Everything is fondant All hand made.
I know there are 10,000 versions of this out there, but I figured I should try, expand the portfolio a little and give the customer a fun sample cake to boot.
